    Trump clearly has lied and then lied again. You don’t know the damage he has done because he won’t release tax info or anything that can be used against him. If you read up on him you will find he evicted elderly old people so he could build a project. I would expect some of them ended up not doing very well and became part of his body count.

    What is it about Clinton’s teeth that causes cartoonists to focus on them?

    The King of liars sits there from his throne & calls Hillary the most vile names he can think of. The more tamer comments he’s made is she’s a monster & the Devil. I can’t repeat here the nastier names he’s labeled her & this man wants to be President ?

    Every time Trump trips over a lie and looks foolish, his supporters just cheer; which accounts for the deafening roar at every rally he puts on for the cameras. Gold light on the hair! Strike up the band! Let the lying begin! GO TRUMP!

    and Mr. Obama has jailed a videographer, sicced the IRS after political “enemies”, and driven the economy towards a cliff. I’m sure Hillary will pick up the communist pace.

    Does Clinton lie more than the average politician? Ok, that’s a low bar & doesn’t excuse it.Is she deliberately misleading people about the substance of her policy goals? Is she making campaign promises that are so absurdly implausible that one must conclude she is lying for votes or bat guano insane?Anytime it comes down to what Clinton’s lies are, it seems that people are missing her legitimate flaws & mistakes in favor of hyping Vince Foster nonsense or pretending she personally could have prevented the deaths in Benghazi. In any normal environment, I’d be happy to dig into her real flaws, but this ain’t normal, Mr. Benson. I’ll be happy if we can get a better class of political animals in the down ballot contests.

    The worst thing about Trump is if he doesn’t realize what he says is not true.Okay, maybe not the WORST but still extremely bad..It affirms lack of contact with reality and the false reality he is tuned into is a very bad one..Hillary lies about things provably wrong, much like Trump but far less often, but she is mostly monitoring this reality..I’m leaning Libertarian, but if they didn’t exist, I would have to pick the lesser of two evils — or at least the saner.

    For the inconvenient record, Hillary Clinton has lied:.

    1. about what FBI Director has said about her mails:.

    2. about having received and sent emails that contained classified material;.

    3. about emails that came to her marked “Classified”; and.

    4. about the number of personal devices she used to process (in what the FBI investigation described as “extremely careless” fashion) sensitive government materials..

    This all amounts to Clinton’s calculated cherry-picking and mischaracterization of fundamental facts in her conscious decision to conduct a presidential campaign driven by a touchpoint strategy of deceit..

    If she wants to enhance her chance in November, she should:.

    1. openly admit her lies;.

    2. openly describe in detail her lies;.

    3. openly take sole and personal responsibility for her lies; and.

    4. openly ask the American people to forgive her for having openly and repeatedly lied to them..

    Americans across the political spectrum are consistently giving Clinton extraordinarily low—and increasingly so—marks in the areas of trustworthiness and honesty:.

    —FOX: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/06/10/fox-news-poll-majority-thinks-clinton-is-lying-about-emails.html.

    —POLITICO: http://www.politico.com/story/2015/08/poll-majority-think-hillary-clinton-knowingly-lied-about-emails-121382.

    —Washington Post: http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2015/11/new-poll-shows-60-of-americans-think-hillary-clinton-is-untrustworthy-and-dishonest.html_____

    .

    These facts are not going away, despite the best efforts of Clinton’s blindly-cheering pom-pom squad (many of whom have struck up a noisy little chorus of deliberate distraction in this thread).

    Here ya go, here’s an example of what Comey thought needed to be kept secret & was willing to characterize Clinton as “careless” over:‘C’ SUMMARY: With little prospect that political colleagues will take action on his behalf, MP Saleh al-Mutlaq is seeking U.S. and UNAMI intervention to reinstate him on the ballot. He also urged the United States to “isolate” Ahmad Chalabi, who he thought would continue to press his malicious activities after the March 7 national elections. Mutlaq reiterated that an election boycott was not in the interest of his supporters or the Iraqi people in general, but warned that he might have no other choice but to declare a boycott on principle, even if no one was with him.Wow! Mind blowing! /sarcasmComey knew the evidence for an actual legal case wasn’t there, but was more than happy to pretend that Clinton didn’t know the difference between publicly distributed information & actual sensitive information. Comey would gladly classify your cartoon & this whole thread.

    Under congressional committee questioning, FBI director Comey said Clinton demonstrated “extreme carelessness” in the handling of classified material and that she did not tell the truth about having received documents marked as classified.

    .

    Be a devoted apologist and try spinning that.

    The one who “died” when Nixon lied was Nixon.

    The Republicans are not really lying about the basic ideals on which they base their political philosophy. In order to be genuinely lying, you have to not believe it yourself. In the alternate universe created by Faux news, Rush Limbaugh, etc, the lies have been repeated so often, and by so many people that they are actually believing themselves now. This is “truthiness” — Colbert’s word, meaning that what is self evident when you use your mind is less important than what you know in your gut. You believe your gut, not your mind, because you don’t like what you know with your mind. The problem with using your gut for thinking instead of your brain is that the products of the two organs become virtually identical.

    The worst thing about Trump, is everything about Trump.

    Yes, Nixon lied, and ran the Viet Nam war longer than LBJ, lots of folks died because he lied.
